That and people don't think 2 or 3 seconds ahead when they drive (another reason I say people should learn stick, it forces you to do that). I can't stand drivers who can't merge onto freeways from onramps, they don't bother accelerating until they're already at the end of the ramp trying to merge onto the freeway. The ramp is where you're supposed to do that so your speed matches that of traffic already on the freeway, which makes merging very easy. If they are driving manual, they know to accelerate in the lower gears first, then shift to the cruising gear once they're in freeflowing traffic, but the typical American driver doesn't even understand this concept anymore.
